Hello all. I was trying to make a tar file backup of Calendar server data to test a backup/restore procedure for calendar server - I tried to follow the instructions I found in the post quoted below for how to properly backup a caldav server for migration to new hardware - but the calendarserver_backup command is failing for me under Mac OS X 10.9.1 server. (server.app 3.0.2) I do see 5432 via netstat- can you help me troubleshoot what to try next, or how to change the backup command so it completes successfully? Thanks in advance. Paul bash-3.2# /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/sbin/calendarserver_backup backup /tmp/caldata.tgz Failed to dump database; error: /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/bin/pg_dump failed: pg_dump: [archiver (db)] connection to database "caldav" failed: could not connect to server: No such file or directory Is the server running locally and accepting connections on Unix domain socket "/Library/Server/PostgreSQL For Server Services/Socket/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

However, calendar server does have a script to do what you need. On the source system, run this in Terminal: sudo /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/sbin/calendarserver_backup backup /tmp/caldata.tgz Next, copy /tmp/caldata.tgz from the source system to /tmp/caldata.tgz on the destination system. Finally, on the destination system, run this in Terminal: sudo /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/sbin/calendarserver_backup restore /tmp/caldata.tgz The caldata.tgz file will contain your calendar and contacts data, including attachments, locations, and resources. However, users and groups live in OpenDirectory and will not be copied over. If your users and groups need to be copied over, then your best bet is to use Migration Assistant to copy everything.

Hello all,

I'm trying to figure out how to migrate calendar service data from a 10.8 OSX Server to a new 10.8 OSX Server installation. I've been trying to use the 70_calendarmigrator.py script, and have had varying success just getting it to find the caldav.plists from the previous server.

Has anyone successfully migrated from 10.8 to 10.8? What's involved to do this correctly?
